England and Wales

(1)

Any person who is in possession of meat from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from suspect premises from the relevant date, or meat that has come into contact with such meat, must detain that meat until those premises are no longer suspect premises.

(2)

Paragraph (1) only applies if the person in possession of the meat is aware or should reasonably have been aware that the meat is from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from suspect premises from the relevant date, or is meat that has come into contact with such meat.

(3)

Any person in possession of meat produced from a restricted animal or restricted poultry originating from infected premises from the relevant date, or meat that has come into contact with such meat, must destroy that meat without delay.

F1(4)

In this regulation “relevant date” (“y dyddiad perthnasol”) means the date the suspect premises or infected premises became subject to disease restrictions, or any earlier date where the Welsh Ministers specify such a date for disease control purposes.
